The Ingredients of Me

MY brown eyes shimmer like the crystal waters of the Nile. 
my soft lips are smooth as silk rose petals 
And are moist like fresh water drops 
my skin is the touch of silk and satin lace 
my sweet essence makes nectar taste sour 
my heart makes the core of the earth enlighten 
Truly, I am the light that 
Illuminates the passion of a great man.
